my weekend...

...started with a reception Friday night at Paris to the Moon, complete with yummy snacks, punch (which unfortunately I could not have since I was driving, but it looked great!), and shopping of course. The sweet and patient Candace Carpenter braved the cold outside for hours while hosting a make-and-take where we made these lovely cards:

On Saturday, I had a fabulous time at the main event hosted by Kim Caldwell. She did a phenomenal job putting together a wonderful day for us. I was in such a hurry when I left our house that I completely forgot to bring a camera. The cell phone pics in my previous posts really don't do the place justice - you'll just have to believe me when I say the affair was lovely and lovingly decorated. If you look closely, you can even see cream-colored M & M's on the table. There were many other extras throughout the day including afternoon tea served in real china teacups. Needless to say, I felt very pampered and definitely plan to attend more of Kim's events in the future!

Here are photos of all the other treasures from Kim:
